Proverbs 27:22-24

Modern English Version

²² Though you should grind a fool in a mortar
    among wheat with a pestle,
    yet his foolishness will not depart from him.

²³ Be diligent to know the state of your flocks,
    and look well to your herds;
²⁴ for riches are not forever,
    nor does the crown endure to every generation.
